Depending on which cholinesterase inhibitor you take, possible side effects include:
Cholinesterase inhibitors help enhance memory and other cognitive functions by influencing certain chemical interactions in the brain. The drugs function by slowing the breakdown of acetylcholine, the chemical that helps cells communicate with one another. By slowing the breakdown process, acetylcholine remains in the brain longer, thus enabling cells to communicate more efficiently. This may help to slow disease progression somewhat in people with mild to moderate Alzheimer's disease.
